Welcome to the Cadillac V-Series Forums!

Does anyone have pics of a 4BW with the 1 piece front splitter without the dive planes/canards?

Hey guys. I'm looking to add a 1 piece carbon fiber front splitter to my non-CF equipped 4BW. Shortly after delivery I did order and install the Tapout 2 piece carbon fiber "base" splitter to replace the black plastic units. I'm looking for something slightly more aggressive with the plan to ultimately replace my rear spoiler with a matching CF unit. I was wondering if anyone here has done the same, and what it would look like since I don't plan on adding the dive planes.
 
I did. IMO, I prefer it over the dive planes because it's more subtle... But I wish it was in black plastic. It scrapes occasionally.

That's kind of what I'm going for, slightly more aggressive. Is that a GM, a tap out, or savage splitter?

Tapout, they do well made OEM, and run a CF sale occasionally.

I forgot to mention but I highly recommend getting the oem style CF wheel deflectors as well, they line up with the front splitter and look subtle but nice. I'll post a Pic.
 
It's the CF piece that connects the lower spoiler and blends into the wheel

I can see them in the original pic. I was going to ask about that also
 
You can look at what Jonnywaffles11 and Metal4all6 have done starting here Carbon fiber PN database. and going on for several pages. I ended up doing the dive planes myself, but they both stopped without adding them. I ended up using OEM for all the front parts and Tapout rear spoiler. Tapout didn't have the front splitter in stock at the time, and the OEM was available and for about the same price discounted from an online dealer. Then I discovered there was a difference in the carbon fiber pattern and color between OEM and Tapout's, so I also got the OEM deflectors and stored away the ones I had from Tapout. When the pieces are right against each other, the difference is noticeable. So whatever way you go, keep to the same source so they match. The deflector pattern difference is subtle but compared you can see the Tapout pattern direction is different right to left (upward on the right, downward on the left), where the OEM mirrors each other so it rises up and outward on each side, if that matters to you.

OEM Carbon fiber PN database.

Tapout Carbon fiber PN database.

You likely already know you can go with a flake pattern with Tapout if you want something different.
 
Here I'll do ya one better and give you a side by side with a standard front that was wrapped in carbon lol

I love this look! I think it looks better than the factory. Gives it a bit of a 5BW look.
 
I agree. The front splitter + wheel deflectors is the the look. Now I need to sell my CF tapout 2 piece base splitter...
